Centralized alerts and ticketing have improved SLA compliance and guided infrastructure decisions
For system monitoring and the alert system within ConnectWise PSA, we find it very useful, and its critical alerts are very important for us for ISOs and SOC compliances. The ticketing follow-up system is good, and there are many features that are very good in ConnectWise PSA. We use the time tracking feature with ConnectWise PSA, specifically for SLAs. The time tracking feature helps us improve billing accuracy, as it is really useful in improving the SLA of the tickets. We have different SLAs for different customers, including those who need a response within one hour and those who need a solution in one hour. According to those customer requirements, we have set the SLAs on the platform, and we get alerts if a ticket is going to be nearing the SLA. With the help of that, we improve the turnaround time and achieve the SLAs up to 90 percent maximum. ConnectWise PSA's reporting tools help our decision-making process a lot because, at certain points, we must make critical calls on moving and rebuilding servers. We can see the number of tickets and analyze server performance to make decisions, so it helps in that way.

Reliable remote access has improved secure collaboration and streamlined daily approvals
The best features TeamViewer Business offers in my opinion are collaboration, templates, a high level of security, and session recording. Collaboration allows me to collaborate remotely with my team members. Besides reconnecting automatically, it provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features. It also allows recording live sessions, which can be replayed as needed for future reference. TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization as collaboration has enhanced, especially remote collaboration by 60 to 70 percent. I have been able to collaborate with clients and other team members seamlessly. Enhanced workflow efficiency includes faster approvals and a lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak through robust features like two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption. It also facilitates compliance using documentation and auditing through recordings and logs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The search function is really good, and to have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable."
"I have used other ticketing systems and they have not been as solid as ConnectWise."
"The ease of reporting is valuable. We have a weekly management meeting, and we gather numbers from ConnectWise in preparation for that. It is helpful for measuring how we're doing in our performance."
"The few times I've had to call, when I first joined the company, support was always excellent, professional, courteous, friendly, and efficient, and they always resolved my issue or answered my questions."
"We use this solution because it does everything we need as opposed to other programs that are always missing one feature or another."
"We like the way that ConnectWise is completely integrated. So you when you identify an opportunity, you can save it, and ConnectWise pushes it through to the whole invoicing process."
"My tool to manage my devices and my tool for ticketing are all in one."
"The product has been pretty stable so far."
"Quicker and easier to connect to our customers’ PCs to resolve software issues."
"I would advise others this is the best solution for administrators or IT personnel."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use and beneficial remote access."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"I use TeamViewer to connect to other workstations, Mac, or PC without a VPN connection."
 

Cons

"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."
"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"It would be nice if ConnectWise gave us more flexibility when using customized fields in the interface."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve by having more integration with different software and have the process simple."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"It would be nice if ConnectWise gave us more flexibility when using customized fields in the interface. You can set up a user-defined field, but those don't port over to tables. It's really inconvenient."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same time."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"They really need an AMT client and/or iLO client for business use."
"I believe the graphical resolutions can be improved on the product, as apart from this, the product is very easy to use and easy on the eye."
"Sometimes it gives problems, with the button not working, and I was unable to log in."
"The only thing I can think of is a quick-deploy / auto-installer for the end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"The pricing is not based on my clients so much as it is on how many people I have accessing the system, and I think it's pretty good."
"The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
